[WAPKA TUT] HOW TO GET A DOMAIN IN YOUR WAPKA SITE

THIS TUTORIAL WILL GUIDE YOU ON HOW TO GET A DOMAIN IN WAPKA AND SOME OTHER SITES THAT HOSTS

FIRSTLY YOU HAVE TO KNOW WHAT IS DNS

The Domain Name System (DNS) is a hierarchical distributed naming system for computers, services, or any resource connected to the Internet or a private network. It associates various information with domain names assigned to each of the participating entities. A Domain Name Service resolves queries for these names into IP addresses for the purpose of locating computer services and devices worldwide. By providing a worldwide, distributed keyword-based redirection service, the Domain Name System is an essential component of the functionality of the Internet.

NOW WAPKA HAS A DNS WHICH IS
ns1.wapka.mobi
ns2.wapka.mobi

LIKE WISE OTHER SITES, LIKE 2NETLODGE’S OWN IS
ns1.syskay.com
ns2.syskay.com

ONCE YOU PUT IT IN ANY DOMAIN WE CAN INTEGRATE THE DOMAIN WITH OUR CPANEL….HOPE YOU NOW UNDERSTAND HOW DNS WORKS?
DNS HELPS IN INTEGRATING FROM ONE SERVER TO ANOTHER,
EXAMPLE: ASUMMING I CHANGE 2NETLODGE DNS TO WAPKA’S  THEN WHEN YOU ADD IT TO WAPKA OWN DOMAIN, MY SITE CAN SWITCH TO WAPKA SITE
SO DO LIKE WISE TO DOT.TK DOMAINS
1.   LOGIN TO DO.TK
2.   REGISTER AN ACCOUNT, DON’T CHOOSE AS A GUEST ELSE YOU CAN UPGRADE YOUR DOMAIN
3.   AFTER REGISTERING/LOGIN THEN ADD A DOMAIN AND CHOOSE CUSTOM DNS
4.   PUT THIS FOR WAPKA USERS ns1.wapka.mobi  THEN THE SECOND ONE PUT ns2.wapka.mobi
5.   WAIT FOR ABOUT 15MINS FOR THE SERVER TO BE RECONFIGURED
6.   THEN GOTO WAPKA.MOBI=>LOGIN=>TOOLS=>OWN DOMAIN
7.   PUT THE DOMAIN YOU CHOOSE IN THE .TK SITE
8.   THEN ITS ALL DONE
DO LIKEWISE TO .COM, .NET, .ORG ETC DOMAINS
